Embarking with Professor Raymond Scheindlin and trip leader Dr. Aryeh Maidenbaum, they begin their travels in Trieste before journeying to Croatia – where its Jewish community dates back to the third century. Some of the highlights of this trip include visits to Zagreb, the historical and elegant capital of Croatia, the impressive Falls of Kirka National Park, Split (with a Synagogue dating back to the 16th century which is still in use), Trogir (a UNESCO “world heritage site”) and Dubrovnik, “Pearl of the Adriatic,” with its ancient city walls and Synagogue – built in 1408 and said to be one of the oldest in Europe.
Passengers board a ship of the Hamburg-America Line around 1910.

The portrait of the German-Jewish Epoch and the response of emigration to the United States - was the major focus of the journey. The trip may not have conveyed all the answers. But their visit to today's Germany, accompanied by an experienced historian, brought them greater understanding of this ancestral saga, and provide an enjoyable, enriching experience.
